[BRLTTY] Contraction errors and patch: Much

[Lee Maschmeyer]

Hi all,

These aren't really errors and the "fixes" don't really fix, but I
wanted to keep the subject form the same and I think the change
results in greater readability.

When an otherwise English text includes Spanish words like "muchacha",
brltty wanted to use the "much" sign, resulting in what appears to be
an error in the original text. We had put in a fix for muchacha a
little while ago.

But a little while ago I came across the phrase, "Muchas gracias." By
shortening the pattern for muchacha and adding a separate rule for
mucho these look, if not right, at least better. Of course we can't
teach brltty Spanish in an English table so I don't know how far down
that road we should go, but it does deal with these common words in a
more readily understandable way.

I hope this is useful,
